About me

I have 8+ years of experience across motion graphics and video editing, and have spent the last 4 years of my career at a specialist branding agency. I work primarily in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and InDesign, and have been spearheading a project to integrate AI and 3D into the agency's workflow.
In my current role, I work with a range of clients, including Intertek (FTSE 100), RWC and associated brands (global brand for plumbing products) and Fujifilm. I work very collaboratively with stakeholders across both Studio and account management teams on a wide range of end-to-end projects - from animation to edited piece-to-camera. Highlights include a joint project with our lead illustrator for the Fujifilm XMF Press Ready Workflow video, a sleek explainer video for their software process, and a location shoot at a client's factory to film a 'How it's Made Video' for JG Layflat pipe.

I'm confident in After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator, and have experience with Blender/ Cinema 4D. I originally specialised in motion design and VFX at university and have continued building on those skills through my MA and ongoing courses, including Ben Marriott's Master Motion Design.

In short, I'm a hands-on designer who cares about storytelling, motion principles, and communication, and I thrive in collaborative, friendly teams.
